Session 5 Final
The goal of this case study is for you to appraise fundamental concepts and current in-depth issues in the psychology of learning, cognition, sensation, perception, and memory linking human brain physiological responses to environmental stimulus.
Your final project will comprise an in-depth case study, in which you will interview one adult participant (between 21 – 80 years of age) with a list of 10 – 15 pre-approved questions (i.e. at least two questions relevant to each course session that you will submit for approval in Session 3).
For example, two questions from Session 4 might be:
(1) When it comes to learning new things, please describe your areas of weakness and strengths and (2) When you learn something new, please describe how you hold on to that new information.
You should design open-ended questions that require the participant to elaborate on his or her answers. This will enable you to gather information-rich data to analyze and synthesize.
The paper will comprise five sections, in addition to an introduction and conclusion, in which you will evaluate and report on the participant’s cognitive skills in each domain and propose ideas for improvements. You will gather information to construct the interview and support your project through a progression of learning in Sessions 1 – 5.
For your paper:
You will critically evaluate the participant’s cognitive development germane to the concepts you were exposed to in this course, such as sensation, perception, attention, memory, learning, knowledge, problem solving, and decision making.
You will not use the participant’s name; rather, you will use an anonymous descriiption, such as Participant 1 or P1. Thus, when you refer to the person in your paper, you will protect anonymity. For example:
Participant 1 explained that when she makes a mental grocery shopping list, she can generally recall about 75% of the items once she is at the store.
It is best to record the interview with the participant’s permission; you may use a Smartphone or other recording device. If unable to record, you may transcribe the participant’s responses.
Paper Sections:
Introduction
Evaluation & Proposal
Perception, Sensation and Attention: Link human brain physiological responses of Perception, Sensation, and Attention to environmental stimulus.
Short-Term/Everyday Memory: Link human brain physiological responses of Short-Term/Everyday Memory.
Long-Term Memory and Retrieval: Link Long-Term Memory and Retrieval to environmental stimulus.
Learning and Knowledge: Link human brain physiological responses of Learning and Knowledge to environmental stimulus.
Problem Solving, Decisions, and Reasoning: Link human brain physiological responses of Problem Solving, Decisions, and Reasoning to environmental stimulus.
Conclusion

Written in Word using APA format. It should include the following:
A cover page.
Assignment written in an APA approved font and size, double spaced.
In-text citations to support main points.
A reference page with full APA references for each in-text citation used for support.
Supported by a minimum of five scholarly sources in addition to your Goldstein (2019) textbook

Critical Reflexive Learning Diary
Social psychology is an area of the discipline of psychology which offers us the opportunity to adopt a more subjective, reflexive relationship to theory and practice. In Critical, Cultural Social Psychology the objective, neutral stance of the psychologist is rejected in favour of a subjective, partisan stance. Assessment Two offers you an opportunity to develop or re-engage with those reflexive skills through the practice of diary keeping. Reflexivity is different from reflectivity. Reflective means thinking about one’s thoughts, feelings and actions. Reflexive means thinking about one’s thoughts, feelings and actions through the eyes of another. For this assessment, you will engage with reflexivity through the eyes of the various writers whose work we will discuss during the unit through critically engaging with your thoughts about psychology.
For the first eight teaching weeks, you should keep a weekly diary of your learning. The diary will contain two sections. In the first section you should summarise your learning from that particular week (e.g., week 1) in the form of a summary of the ideas contained in the teaching videos, content covered by any required reading and the topics discussed during the online tutorial for that week. This should be a concise summary and be no longer than 125 words.
The second section will be your critical reflexions on that material in relation to what you learned about the role of social and cultural factors in psychology, how your understanding of social support and social power has either been consolidated or changed during that week and what dilemmas or inconsistencies you have identified in your understanding of psychology’s approach to particular social issues. You should approach this task as an exercise of considering your own thoughts, feelings and actions through the perspective of the different approaches we cover that week. This section should be no longer than 275 words.
Once you have completed eight weeks of diary entries (one entry per week for the first eight teaching weeks), you will choose the two diary entries that you feel best meet the marking criteria. Pick you best work and submit those two diary entries in one document. The other six logs should be included as a appendix to that document, but will not be assessed. The length of the assessment must not exceed 800 words (this word count does not include your appendices).
Text should be word-processed and follow the APA style for layout.
Use Arial font and double spacing.
You must include a reference section at the end of the assessment. Referencing and citations should be in the APA format

ADHD in Children and Adolescents
Topic I chose is ADHD. An individual close to me has ADHD and I get to witness their struggles on a day-to-day basis. ADHD can cause individuals to have trouble staying focus and paying attention in class rooms. This can also lead to issues with hyperactivity and controlling behavior. This specific individual may have developed ADHD as a subset of being a part of the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum (FAS) as their mother was a severe alcoholic while they were pregnant with them. FAS can lead to multiple learning disabilities and issues in an individual’s life, and ADHD is one of those learning disabilities.
The annotated bibliography should include a listing of at least eight resources that will be used in your case application paper. You should include the APA citation for each resource as well as a brief paragraph stating the conclusion of each resource and addressing how the information in the resource will support your project. The resources should include information about the chosen individual’s disorder/disability as well as information regarding treatment for the disorder/disability.
Guidelines for Submission: The annotated bibliography should follow these formatting guidelines: 2–3 pages, double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins, and citations in APA format. For each reference, the three- to five-sentence annotation should be indented in block format (similar to a direct quotation of greater than 40 words) and directly follow the reference.
Students should pay attention to the following points in their annotation:
Summarize the central theme and scope of the resource
Include a paragraph that covers the following:
o Evaluates the authority or background of the author
o Comments on the intended audience
o Compares or contrasts this work with another you have cited OR explains how this work illuminates your bibliography topic
Cite the resource using APA style (see below for example).
Sample Annotated Bibliography of a Journal Article
The following example is what your final product for each resource should look like. This example (for the psychological research article A Bad Taste in the Mouth: Gustatory Disgust Influences Moral Judgment) employs APA style for the journal citation. The writer of this annotation follows the above points to create an annotation that summarizes the article’s main points and draws connections between that resource and other resources:
Eskine, K. J., Kacinik, N. A., & Prinz, J. J. (2011). A bad taste in the mouth: Gustatory disgust influences moral judgment. Psychological Science, 22(3), 295–299.
Annotation: In this article, Eskine and colleagues describe the results of an experiment that examined whether the taste in a person’s mouth influences the moral judgments that the person makes. The authors, who are researchers at the City University of New York, hypothesized that there would be a relationship between these two variables because prior research has shown that there are strong links between basic emotions and moral judgments. Indeed, the authors found that participants given a bitter drink made harsher moral judgments than those given a non-bitter drink. This article is extremely useful for my paper because it provides evidence that seemingly unimportant sensory information can influence moral judgments. Also, it nicely complements the work of Chapman et al. (2009), who found that emotional disgust and morality utilize similar brain regions. One limitation, though, is that all of the participants in the study were college students. They may have responded differently to the moral situations than older or younger participants.
